:00:00. > :00:16.Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

:00:17. > :00:26.With me are writer Bonnie Greer and the Metro's Joel Taylor.

:00:27. > :00:32.Sir Terry Wogan is pictured on many of the front pages.

:00:33. > :00:35.Thanks, Tel, is the headline on the Metro.

:00:36. > :00:37.Express calls the broadcaster a 'true national treasure'.

:00:38. > :00:39.Independent leads with research which found the pay gap faced

:00:40. > :00:45.by black workers widens the more qualifications they obtain.

:00:46. > :00:46.The Times says the Prime Minister's hopes

:00:47. > :00:49.of securing an EU renegotiation are hanging by a thread

:00:50. > :00:52.after the president of the European Council walked out of Downing

:00:53. > :00:55.The Guardian reports that an estimated 800,000 people have

:00:56. > :00:57.dropped off the electoral register since the government introduced

:00:58. > :01:01.The Mail says GPs have voted to stop looking after hundreds of thousands

:01:02. > :01:05.The Telegraph says Mr Cameron has forced Brussels to admit Britain

:01:06. > :01:08.needs an immediate "emergency brake" on the number of

:01:09. > :01:11.And the Sun's headline beside a picture of Sir Terry: Thank

:01:12. > :01:28.We will start with the Times, and coverage of the talks that have

:01:29. > :01:34.taken place for only one and a half hours this evening. Just what it for

:01:35. > :01:39.hours to reach a deal with Europe. This time. There might be lots of 24

:01:40. > :01:45.hours before them. I don't think that is exactly what the story says

:01:46. > :01:53.exactly. It says he wants to try to get this deal going around in-work

:01:54. > :01:59.benefits and the Times figures he has 24 hours to do it. Donald Tusk

:02:00. > :02:06.walkout apparently saying no deal. What ever that means. The PM now,

:02:07. > :02:09.his people, they are saying that there is kind of one but we are

:02:10. > :02:16.going to see if we can make it better than it is. It is all quite

:02:17. > :02:20.bizarre. No deal and yet they are constructive talks. Looking at the

:02:21. > :02:28.papers, the Times and the Telegraph, the Times says he has 24

:02:29. > :02:33.hours to save the deal, it is an ultimatum. The Telegraph is

:02:34. > :02:42.suggesting the conversation has been positive. It is almost like an

:02:43. > :02:45.Hollywood movie trailer. Yes. The Telegraph is suggesting they have

:02:46. > :02:52.made a significant concession in the EU. They have finally said Britain

:02:53. > :02:58.needs an emergency brake. And then finally it mentions that Tusk walks

:02:59. > :03:03.out saying no deal. International calls are not supposed to end like

:03:04. > :03:08.that. It does sound like the Prime Minister said we need a break and

:03:09. > :03:11.Tusk says that is what you do and that is it. If he walks out saying

:03:12. > :03:18.there is no deal then none has been done. It says there is a significant

:03:19. > :03:22.concession and they say the levels of migration into the UK require a

:03:23. > :03:29.break. Any idea what the formula is to work that out? The other point is

:03:30. > :03:34.that Tusk has said that the rest of the EU has to agree on the level the

:03:35. > :03:39.UK has reached in order for some break that might happen to kick in.

:03:40. > :03:45.The Prime Minister wants it to happen right away. We don't know

:03:46. > :03:50.what this is. If they even get the chance to apply for this, the other

:03:51. > :04:02.EU member states have to agree to it. Others might want that brake. If

:04:03. > :04:05.you think of Greece. That adds a whole other level of complication.

:04:06. > :04:11.Hard to see a way through this that is going to be easy. Meanwhile, back

:04:12. > :04:20.at the Conservative Party, the parliamentary party, a segment is

:04:21. > :04:25.very angry. The Eurosceptics. They are saying this is not a real thing.

:04:26. > :04:32.This isn't real. Someone called it a sick joke. That's not nice. Let's

:04:33. > :04:36.look at the Guardian. Students hit hard by a slump in electoral roll.

:04:37. > :04:38.The Labour Party say that the change in the rules, so that individuals

:04:39. > :04:48.have to register to have disappeared from the list.

:04:49. > :04:54.Apparently. They would supposedly have to reapply. Yes. Labour are

:04:55. > :04:58.concerned. They fear these are likely to be people more likely to

:04:59. > :05:03.vote for them. They are highlighting this. It doesn't seem that the

:05:04. > :05:08.Cabinet office and the Government are taking it on board. They have

:05:09. > :05:12.said these entries are by people who have moved or died or were on the

:05:13. > :05:18.list fraudulently. How can you know if you have slipped off the list?

:05:19. > :05:21.They have said this around the time of the election, these people will

:05:22. > :05:26.be missing from the electoral register. It will be interesting for

:05:27. > :05:31.someone to publish figures or to see something definitive. We've just

:05:32. > :05:34.been told this is happening. It would be nice to know. We're not

:05:35. > :05:41.getting that definitively. Presumably, the first time someone

:05:42. > :05:45.would know they are not on the list is when they come to the election.

:05:46. > :05:52.You wouldn't think, I need to go and check. There are almost a million

:05:53. > :05:55.people declared ineligible to exercise their vote, that would be a

:05:56. > :06:01.concern to all parties. Particularly young voters. A head scratching

:06:02. > :06:09.about how to attract young people to get involved. -- a head scratch. I

:06:10. > :06:16.find it quite strange. Maybe after this they will do something. Pay gap

:06:17. > :06:19.hits black graduates in white college jobs according to the

:06:20. > :06:24.Independent. A report showing how they miss out despite tries to curb

:06:25. > :06:33.discrimination and it's not just when they go into work. The NUS says

:06:34. > :06:38.it starts at the moment, when HR enters the education system, they

:06:39. > :06:43.are immediately on the back foot -- when a black child enters the

:06:44. > :06:47.education system. University graduates earn 23% less than white

:06:48. > :06:50.graduates and that is huge. We have laws to deal with it. Anthony

:06:51. > :06:59.Lester, leading human rights lawyer, has tweeted to us: We have strong

:07:00. > :07:06.equality law against racism but not enforced. The human rights

:07:07. > :07:13.commission should tackle this. I have to say, it isn't popular, but

:07:14. > :07:21.40 years ago the US tackle this by quota -- tackled this bike quota.

:07:22. > :07:23.People are entitled to have the same amount of access to jobs and

:07:24. > :07:29.education but there has to be legislation to enforce it. It

:07:30. > :07:33.happened. It worked. What about the argument, if you do quotas for women

:07:34. > :07:38.or minorities you don't get the best candidates. That didn't happen in

:07:39. > :07:42.the United States. We have a whole generation of people. We have had to

:07:43. > :07:49.African-American attorney generals. -- two. A whole generation

:07:50. > :07:54.benefiting from these quotas, not least the president of the United

:07:55. > :07:58.States. It works. There are still incredible racial divisions in

:07:59. > :08:04.America. We are talking about people accessing jobs. This level of

:08:05. > :08:07.inequality is appalling. It isn't anything that a democratic society

:08:08. > :08:12.should be willing to tolerate. And it should be something that is an

:08:13. > :08:16.emergency situation. Oxford University says it does not see the

:08:17. > :08:19.need for extra legislation. They have tried to say there is a broader

:08:20. > :08:28.problem within society. Their figures are stark. Last year, 64

:08:29. > :08:35.black students were enrolled at Oxford University. That's up from 30

:08:36. > :08:40.95 years ago. That still very low numbers of people -- that's up from

:08:41. > :08:44.39 five years ago. There is a sort of intellectual bar that stops

:08:45. > :08:47.people from seeing these problems. You start to see when there is

:08:48. > :08:51.legislation to help you to see. I have to say that. In the United

:08:52. > :09:01.States people were incentivised to do things. How? For instance, you

:09:02. > :09:06.were given extra money, literally, extra money, to run your business or

:09:07. > :09:12.your university, if you considered hiring. And people did it and it did

:09:13. > :09:18.bring in a workforce. It brought in people, people became entrepreneurs

:09:19. > :09:22.and business owners, and it enabled people to go to universities. It

:09:23. > :09:31.happen. Did it stop the problem? In introducing those incentives? Did it

:09:32. > :09:33.mean that you had enough minorities within an organisation that they

:09:34. > :09:39.were then role models for people coming behind them? They became role

:09:40. > :09:46.models. It became stagnant after a while, of course, as everything. It

:09:47. > :09:51.created a generation of professionals. Let's look at Donald

:09:52. > :09:55.Trump on the top of the Independent. America starts to give its verdict.

:09:56. > :09:59.Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump seemed to be leading in the polls in

:10:00. > :10:07.Iowa, where the primary takes place. It's all a bit close and

:10:08. > :10:13.there is a big margin of error. But they are the leading candidates. We

:10:14. > :10:16.are told. The mountain Mr Trump would have to climb even to be

:10:17. > :10:22.nominated as a Republican party candidate is massive. First of all

:10:23. > :10:27.he has a lock of the Republican Party establishment against him.

:10:28. > :10:30.Even though he has a lot of the grassroots interested in him -- he

:10:31. > :10:34.has a lot of the Republican Party establishment against him. I have to

:10:35. > :10:37.say that the president of the United States is not directly elected by

:10:38. > :10:42.the people of the United States. He has to be elected by the electoral

:10:43. > :10:47.college, the assemblage of the popular vote. The Democratic Party

:10:48. > :10:52.at this point in time has a lock on the... That is literally what it is

:10:53. > :10:57.called now. A candidate like Donald Trump would not break that. So that

:10:58. > :11:01.is the dilemma for the Republican Party. He is not going to get them

:11:02. > :11:09.the White House, and they know it. So, tomorrow, the Iowa caucuses,

:11:10. > :11:15.with bad weather there, and people worrying about the turnout... He has

:11:16. > :11:20.to win it and win it big. But he does have a lot of grassroots

:11:21. > :11:24.support. He is different. It might not be palatable, what he says, but

:11:25. > :11:30.he is certainly outspoken. Absolutely. He is appealing to this

:11:31. > :11:37.disenfranchised body of people who feel they have not been represented

:11:38. > :11:41.in the White House. Are they likely to vote? I don't know. He is facing

:11:42. > :11:46.a battle to convince his own side. Certainly. I want to say, it is

:11:47. > :11:50.important to say, this is not a matter of a person going to vote.

:11:51. > :11:55.This man has to be elected by a specific waddy. The process he has

:11:56. > :12:03.to go through to get their is so enormous -- body -- there. It is for

:12:04. > :12:09.everyone. The party who nominate him do not want him. Barack Obama's

:12:10. > :12:13.former adviser was talking today, saying how the Republicans are off

:12:14. > :12:17.the rails, in a similar way to Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party, that

:12:18. > :12:24.was his comparison. It is a party that at the moment it is hard to see

:12:25. > :12:28.how they can pull up. Let's finish with tributes to Sir Terry Wogan,

:12:29. > :12:32.who has died of cancer at the age of 77. The Daily Mirror and the Sun

:12:33. > :12:43.have the same headline, but different photos. Thank you for

:12:44. > :12:49.being our friend. And the quote, Bonnie, about not seeing millions

:12:50. > :12:55.but people were individuals. That is what he was, and artist of the

:12:56. > :12:59.radio. I have lived here for 30 years and I remember where I was

:13:00. > :13:04.when I first heard him. He came right through that radio and that is

:13:05. > :13:10.a rare gift. He used it superbly. The Sun, a different picture with a

:13:11. > :13:14.cheeky grin of a national treasure. As Bonnie has said, he had such a

:13:15. > :13:21.reassuring... Always familiar, strangely familiar. You listen to

:13:22. > :13:25.him and he would just might you were just relax and enjoy his humour. The

:13:26. > :13:30.instrument was beautiful as well. That is the other part, the

:13:31. > :13:35.instrument itself was beautiful. Nice way to finish with tributes to

:13:36. > :13:40.Sir Terry Wogan. Thank you so much for taking us through the front

:13:41. > :13:41.pages. That's it for this evening. Coming up next, it's the
